Splice, the world’s largest royalty-free sample library, has announced a new integration with Avid’s Pro Tools.
What it means:
The integration was announced as part of the release of Pro Tools’ 2025.6 update.
With Splice now built directly into Pro Tools, millions of loops, FX and one-shots are readily available to music creators without having to leave Pro Tools.
As per Avid’s press release, creators can drag audio clips from the Pro Tools timeline directly into Splice’s AI-powered “Search with Sound” panel to match samples by rhythm, key and tempo, eliminating app switching and guesswork.
Users can preview the samples and then drag them back into their session.
Pro Tools users can access around 2,500 samples for free, with the remainder available through a monthly subscription.
Other updates:
Pro Tools 2025.6 introduces a Speech-to-Text AI engine, meaning editors can search any audio file in a session for speech/lyric information to find specific vocal takes and speed navigation.
It also offers an expanded ARA ecosystem to streamline vocal production, more tightly integrated ADR and reconform workflows, and a new in-app dashboard.
Availability:
Pro Tools 2025.6 will be available to all Pro Tools Artist, Studio, and Ultimate subscribers, as well as perpetual license holders on an active support plan.
What they said:
Kenna Hilburn, SVP, Product at Avid: “Whether producers and artists are sketching out ideas, building out tracks, or applying final touches, Pro Tools’ Splice integration provides a more powerful environment for creating music – giving users the ability to quickly find the perfect sound while staying in their creative flow.”
